Anybody here watch the NBA? If you do, what team do you support?

I'm a devout Detroit Pistons fan :) Unfortunately this is one of our worst seasons this decade :( but it's all about the 2010 free agent market.

So yeah, post all NBA related stuff here :)

Don't support any one team. I watch both the NBA and College ball as often as I can.

Pistons have had a bad run but it happens :D

Yeah :/ Was a bad move trading Billups for Iverson. Now we're stuck with 2 shooting guards so Hamilton is coming off the bench although we've looked better since Iverson has been injured.

Anyway I reckon it'll be a Lakers - Celtics or Lakers - Cavaliers final. All 3 teams are playing really well.

Lakers are sore losers.

A few weeks back they lost against a team (can't remember who) and their reaction stank in my opinion.

Iverson definately came with baggage. Will be interesting to see how the season pans out.

I used to take a liking to either New York Nicks or the Phoenix Suns. Can't remember.

Not surprised, they're at 53-13 so losing doesn't come easily to them :p True he's an absolutely amazing individual player but he just does not fit into the Piston's game. To be effective he has to have the ball. He also doesn't play defense which completely contradicts the Pistons style of play.

Knicks had their glory days back in the day with Patrick Ewing and so on. They ain't been doing well since Isiah Thomas took over although Mike Dantoni seems to be getting there with them. The Suns are chugging along as always although not as well as they usually do, I reckon they'll have a first or just maybe a second round playoff exit.

Mmm, that's the season they beat my Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals and eventually beat Dallas to win the NBA title. Miami beating Detroit is the reason Ben Wallace left for Chicago :(

Yeah tell me about it. Celtics look very weak without KG. Wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics get knocked out by the Bulls, especially if the Bulls keep on playing like they did last night.

On a more grim note, my Pistons lost the first game to the Cavs :(

That looks like the Bucks the Heat are playing against. I see in that last picture, Shaq is shooting bricks as always :p

Im kinda rooting for the Bulls.

you basta*d .. The Celtics must win :)
I know we got no chance of winning or even making it to conference finals but at least semi's!
But if we had KG it would be a whole other story

So Celtics and Hawks both through. Think Celtics will be able to take care of the Magic as Jameer Nelson is still injured.
